(besides that I never win) is that everyone spends so much time working on winning the knife and not "talking" to me.

;):D:D

There are a lot of people here tonight but not much talk :D:D
 
Absolutely Eric! I agree. Now, since you're not going to win the Badger anyway.... Go respond to the "research and development" post:D
 
Here is a funny story for your entertainment, and it involves a Swamp Rat.

I was turkey hunting in Kentucky this past Friday. I was sitting in a blind scanning the field in front of me and concentrating on listening for clucks. Inside the blind with me was a little pile of bark that had come off one of the trees used to make the blind. When I glanced down at the pile I saw the biggest, meanest, most enourmous corn worm I had ever seen in all my life. It was as big around as my thumb and about 6" long. This thing was huge. Yellow, segmented, with beady eyes that stared right through my soul.

I knew it had come to kill me.

So, ever so slowly and quietly so as not to cause the corn worm any alarm, I drew my new INFI Coot. As quickly as I could I raised the blade way above my head (I was sitting on the ground at the time, no doubt the corn worm saw me as a perfect target) and let fly with a two handed reverse grip stab right in the direction of the devil-worm. His wormlike reflexes were no match for me and I cleaved him neatly in half. Or 1/3 - 2/3 anyway.

The best part of the story is that I embedded the tip of the INFI Coot about 3" deep in the root of the tree and the knife sustained no damage. Not even the coating.

Anyway, if you are looking for something to defend yourself against corn worms with I highly recommend the Swamp Rat Bandicoot. INFI if you can find it. The End.
